Vegetable Garden Update June 2012

 A bit of rain and a bit of sunshine and lots of talking to the plants and they are slowly progressing.

Some really hot weather managed to fry a few of the plants but a bit of moving of the soil to protect and keep the moisture in seems to have kept the rest going

 I started off weeding some of the grass that had grown back in and then decided to elevate the beds by digging paths around them. Both the kids and our kittens are enjoying their paths and happily run up and down and its easier to water the beds.


Planted to date we have:

Tomato and Basil 

(the basil I grew from seeds and then placed next to the tomato when they had grow in to bigger seedlings)

Corn 

(another from seeds sprouted and seedlings now)

Beans
